Well, well. How much do you predict Touch users are willing to pay more
than those destitute SB1-3 owners ??

I only use SB3 and Booms, because I like these models. Later ones were,
IMO, POS. Except for Touch which is ok, except I don't care AT ALL for a
color screen. Audio quality is, as you know, not an issue and we have
DACs if needed (since an unsupported TP is not an option.) I am not
missing 24/96 and aboveĀ…

If the new Community Player is supposed to align with HTPCs or smart
phones and look like a christmas tree, let me know and I'll stop
following the thread. My interest is in reliability, sound quality, home
integration. Ah yes, running a nice VU-meter, too.  

Limiting the amount of what *must* run in the player is important for
reliability and lifespan. I change PC every 2-3 years, I change hifi
every 10 years at most. The original slim models had this right.
